I have scraps and left overs cut from jewelry making sheet metal, I'm guessing 20-24 gauge? It's thin and flexible like soda cans. The stuff you can get at the craft store for dapping.

I'm looking for a way to reuse the bits, can this metal be heated up a bit to soften and hammer several small pieces together or will it melt? This would definitely be an outside project with precautions and tools.

Without significant heat, I don't think it would melt. It depends on what the metal content is. http://www.kitco.com/jewelry/meltingpoints.html This is a link to melting points.

It could become brittle with heating and cooling.
You could use something like JB Weld (2 part epoxy for metals).

Mkay, thanks. I don't have the packaging any more so I'm not entirely sure what it is, just the thin sheets you can get at the craft store. And I've heard of JB Weld, I'll look in to that too.

Maybe putting the bits in clear resin to make OOAK jewelry bits might be better.
